This invention relates to tonsorial appliances, and more particularly to a cevice for holding a stick of shaving soap which may be readily removed for application to the face and-having means contained within said device for rubbing the applied soap into. a lather.

The object is to provide such a holder or container which will keep a stick of soap in. a sanitary, condition, said holder havinga removable cap formed to be readily I grasped by the hand and carrying a lathering device which, when the cap is secured in position upon the holder, is housed within the latter and is ready for instant use when removed therefrom. Y

,A full and complete understanding 0 the invention may be obtained from a, consideration of the following detailed descrip-.' tion, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification; it being understood that while the drawing shows a practical form of the invention, the latter is not confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed or modified, so long as such changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention, as specifically pointed out-in the appended claims. In the drawing, in which similar refer-- ence characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures Figure l is a perspective view of the combination shaving soap and applicator holder with the cap screwed in position thereon.

single sheet of thin metal, the point of junc ture providing an annular, interiorgroove for the reception of a paper disk 3 seated within said groove and thus prevented from jarring loose from such sea-t. -An inner tubular lining 4: of paper is placed within the tube 1, and such paper lining, together with the disk 3 are adapted to prevent corrosion of the inner walls of the receptacle by contact with the stick of soap, indicated at 5, as well as to preserve the sanitary condition of said stick of soap. The features thus far described form no part of my invention, and I do not wish to be restricted thereto.

At the top, open end, the tube 1 is stamped or pressed into a thread 6 into which is adapted to be screwed the depending threaded portion 7 of a metallic cap 8, produced likewise of thin sheet metal and having intermediate its height, an annular milled rib 9, formed by pressing the metal outwardly in a well-known manner and adapted to facilitate the screwing or unscrewing action of the cap in applying or removing the same.
